Your vulnerabilities can haunt you today, causing you to avoid spending a great deal of time in the company of the individuals you care about. And if you feel slighted by the attitudes of one friend or relative, you may find yourself becoming overly emotional. You may need to spend some time thinking about the manner in which you view those with whom you share bonds. While objectively analyzing your relationships, you may discover that you feel generally vulnerable, no matter whose company you keep. Viewing your loved ones as individual beings can help you better relate to them today as doing so will likely allow you to address specific instances of sensitivity with those involved.

Accepting that relationships are complex expressions of feeling that cannot be easily lumped into a single category allows us to treat each of the interpersonal bonds we value as unique elements of our lives. Feeling no need to categorize the relationships we enjoy, we can concentrate on simply making the most of the joy our loved ones contribute to our existence. Vulnerabilities become an asset to us, as they give us something unique to share with each of the people we care about. When regarding these, we consider each in their own right, judging them by the standards they use to judge themselves instead of comparing them to their counterparts in other areas of our experience. The sensitivity you feel today can be a positive element of your relationships when you treat your loved ones as individuals who have diverse needs and values.
